Please keep in mind that they are 12, 10 and 8 years old and that English isn't their native language.
Once upon a time there was a family lost in the woods. This family found a haunted mountain and after they entered no one found them. Then some explorers went to the mountain. The explorers are you. Try to get out of the mountain dungeon.
1 If you stand on one of the traps the wall will go away and the arrows will shoot at you.
2 You come in and have to go on the rotating plate where you have to fight with the chicken monster.
3 In this room you have to fight with a big slime monster.
4 You have to try to escape of this room fast because the walls slide together.
5 There are traps with portals where you disappear. There is a giant monster too.
6 There are fireblasters that shoot at you.
7 This room has a pool full of piranhas and you have to cross it on a rope.
8 There are monster plants that would love to eat you.
9 The witch tells you to go into a door, you don't know which is the right one.
Excellent fun! Their English is FAR better than my Deutsche which is practically non-existent.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Did you learn German at school? I should post more texts in German so you can practice ...
DeleteExcellent effort,well done. As someone with one language I am very impressed with their English. I really like the piranha pool part.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. I will pass on the compliment. Yes, I think so too. The room with the piranhas is fun.
DeleteWhat I find most interesting is seeing their entry every year and how they continually build better and more structured dungeons every time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex. That's an interesting observation.
DeleteWhat I like about their early entries is the raw, unstructured imagination they had. It’s probably difficult for most adults to come up with ideas like that.
The previous years I had to edit and translate their texts and sometimes help out with a map, based on one of their sketches.
This year they didn’t need any help at all. Not even with the English texts. I think that’s a big step. Really nice to see them growing up.
